I didn't mean batches of canted barrels, but batches of problems in general. There were Shield RSA's that were reported failing for a period, then the reports stopped for many months, now there seems to be another batch of reports. The Shield slide jamming is new problem that's had a recent batch of reports here.

As to why a non-automated process has batch's of problems, it ultimately rests on management and QC, but it might be that the "good" guy with the big wrench was on vacation.
